Among other issues, the President addressed the Karabakh conflict settlement in his statement. “I would like to address another issue, which we have spoken about on many occasions. It is about the Karabakh issue and so-called “surrender of lands.” My personal statements with regard to our clear-cut position on Karabakh are probably numberless. I repeat once again: there will be no unilateral concessions in the resolution of the Karabakh issue. Nagorno Karabakh will never be part of Azerbaijan. I repeat once again: it is out of question. I have given my entire life to this. To get to the solution acceptable for my nation, I have always been ready to sacrifice any position, and my life as well. This holds true today, and it will tomorrow,” the President stressed in his statement.
